Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will consider publishing a comprehensive Feminist Approach to International Relations (FAIR) action plan.


Answer

The Scottish Government recognises the importance of ensuring that the principles set out in Scotland's Feminist Approach to International Relations (FAIR) position paper are reflected across its international work.

Delivery of the commitments set out in the position paper is being progressed through relevant portfolios and existing delivery mechanisms, with ministers and officials exploring how FAIR principles can further inform policy development, programme delivery and international engagement.

The Scottish Government will continue to consider how best to support and communicate on the implementation of its FAIR as part of the Government’s wider approach to its international relations in this parliamentary session.
